How To Treat Recurring Water Build Up In Abdomen And Legs?
My dad is close to 90 years old and he has water build up in his abdomen and legs. He went to hospital and they reduce the water in his body two days ago. It came back again. Is there any medication or procedure he needs to take? He is in Turkey. Thank you.
